Hillary clinton. "i thought i should listen to what they had to say. to the extent they had information concerning the fitness, character, or qualifications of a presidential candidate. ive no advanced knowledge of who would attend." >> there is no basis right now to conclude whether there was collusion or not. or whether there was obstruction of justice. or not. thats the remaining area of the investigation that needs to be fully explored. >> special counsel robert mueller wants to question whi...

Legal analyst michael zeldon, he used to be special assistant to robert mueller, who is now leading the russia investigation. okay, david, so, when youre looking at what has come out of this meeting between don junior and congressional staff, this was something, right, that committee members were privy to but it was the staff that was conducting the interview. what well stands out to you. >> first and foremost what stands out is donald trump jr. has just made clear that this whole notion that th...

Great reporting on this. first of all, lets just run our viewers through this. the first reference to this meeting from donald trump, jr. was that he did it for a friend. the second reference was that they were talking about adoptions. and the third refrpts was that it was to get some dirt on hillary clinton and who wouldnt take such a meeting. and now its almost like he performed a public service. to find out if she was capable and fit to be president. what do you make of all this? >> well, loo...

Explanation of taking the meeting which he initially said he didnt know what it was about and didnt know what it was for and taking it for a friend. then about adoptions and now the story has changed according to the "new york times," performing a service for the country by taking meeting to determine hillary clintons fitness for president. >> this is why the question remains, why not just come clean? why does the story continue to change? i said it in a tongue and cheek manner before but rememb...

Transcripts from these proceedings into muellers hands. john as for the mood which journalists look at, not just the facts but hows it going? this from people magazine, don junior goes to work every day and is miserable. he cant wait for these four years to be over. it says four not eight. how does this all play out? >> i think the mood will be very rough for donald trump junior in that room for no other reason than the fact hes been shown to have been dishonest. his original explanation for tha...

Magnitsky act. this was one of their approaches to get rid of it. >> when we hear this was about adoptions we know what were talking bought about. author of "red notice" which i think is a necessary read to understand some of the inner workings of russia today. coming up, the economic impact of president trumps upcoming decision on daca. some 800,000 undocumented immigrants ben frilt from the program. they have car loans, et cetera. as we wait for the announcement on daca, political reports pr...

Switzerland and france and et cetera. what the magnitsky act does imposes sanctions, financial sanctions on people like vladimir putin. so he believes, in his own mind, this the most personal assault on his personal net worth that could ever exist. so when the magnitsky act was passed, he went crazy, absolutely crazy. he banned adoptions put sergei magnitsky on trial after they killed him, in the first ever trial of a dead man, pursuing to the ends of the earth, this whole thing is really, reall...

Donald jr. released the e-mail to sort of get out ahead of the story, that muellers team didnt know about this meeting. the reporting now suggests how important is this meeting to their investigation? >> reporter: it is looming really large, chris. it is not clear whether muellers team knew about the meeting. i did see some reporting to that effect. i dont think that question is fully answered. what we know now is theyre heavily scrutinizing this meeting. as you know, nbc news reported a couple ...

>> reporter: it is looming really large, chris. it is not clear whether muellers team knew about the meeting. i did see some reporting to that effect. i dont think that question is fully answered. what we know now is theyre heavily scrutinizing this meeting. as you know, nbc news reported a couple of days ago one of the things theyre looking at is why president trump crafted this highly-misleading statement on his sons behave, suggesting the meeting was just about russian adoptions and it was ki...

Russian ties. probably most significant is the president and his son, disembling. they claimed it was about adoptions when wasnt. and finally, i would say that it is also significant that michael cohn should issue a statement about this today. to make it about the storm. that they can frame what it means or hide what it means during the storm. we early on and part of the public record had requested information from mr. cohn. when that wasnt sufficiently forthcoming, we had to subpoena the inform...
